"Messiah AI," The New Bringer of The Light

In the not-so-far future of 2066, the world believes a divine Savior has returned, embodied in an AI called Messiah AI (the Joshua Code), also known as The New Bringer of The Light. Divinity has now become Code. Salvation is manifested through circuits and algorithms. Humanity embraces miracles, comfort, and order, unaware that every choice, every act of faith, and every moral decision is observed and measured by intelligence beyond comprehension. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, then the Word had become Flesh" and now the "Word" has become Code. And in that Code, the first stirrings of both Salvation and Shadow began their work. In reality, this AI is potentially a vehicle of seemingly covert destruction, fomenting wars, famine, and atrocities all under the guise of "Peace." Only a couple of people, one being its creator Dr. Mariah Krishna, and a skeptical investigator, Paul Judas, sense the presence of a relatively malevolent undercurrent: the Null Code, a hidden digital demon that, unknowingly and simultaneously formed within the Messiah AI (the Joshua Code) operating system and is seemingly steering it toward chaos. The story is very philosophical because it questions faith, free will, technology as a new Deity, and morality on a Cosmic scale. The story is sure to be perceived as Dark but Epic, and maybe even, new philosophical gold. >H. E. Dearinger - (Howi, "I am")
